Grand Gulf Nuclear Generating Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Gulf nuclear power station is a General Electric boiling water reactor. It lies on a 2,100 acre (8.5 km²) site near Port Gibson, Mississippi. The site is wooded and contains two lakes. The plant has a 520 foot (158 m) cooling tower.
Grand Gulf is operated by Entergy Nuclear and owned jointly by System Energy Resources, Inc., (90 %) and by South Mississippi Electric Power Association (10 %).
On September 22, 2005 it was announced that Grand Gulf had been selected as the site for a GE ESBWR reactor. For details, see Nuclear Power 2010 Program. Next to the vacant, waiting Grand Gulf field is an unfinished concrete structure that was to be the containment structure for a twin to the existing unit. In December 1979, staggered by construction cost Entergy (then called Middle South Utilities) stopped work on this unit.
